Emma Lovelace was a daydreamer, born to put pen to paper as a romance novelist. A steadfast city-girl, she's in her element in all the hustle and bustle. When she finds herself the subject of media attention for all the wrong reasons, she takes her best friend Sophie's advice to take a break and move into her cottage on a small farm in the country. But her friend won't be there, and she won't be alone. Sophie's older brother shares the cottage, a no-nonsense country boy who doesn't appreciate having his peace and quiet spoiled by having a stranger move in. Especially not some fancy city-girl who wastes her days writing soppy love stories. Can she win over the grumpy cowboy? Does she even want to? Liam Tanner is a simple man of the land. Already a widower at his young age. He wants nothing more than to potter around his sister's farm as he comes to terms with the grief of losing his beloved wife and unborn child. The intrusion of Sophie's friend is unwelcome and uncomfortable. She has no business being so damned pretty and messing with the peaceful cocoon he'd created for himself. It might be time he moved on and allowed himself to love again, but surely not with the city-girl with glitter nails who will only be around for a short time.
